Karen,<BR>
I usually "threaten" students who don't upload that I may have to delay their grades. I have had them still not post to safeassign though.<BR>
<BR>
If I don't suspect plagiarism on the papers, I let it slide after I spot check a couple of sentences in a google search. If I do suspect plagiarism, I try emailing the student to let him/her know that I'm delaying the grade, and then I search for plagiarism the old-fashioned way. Students generally submit their papers at this point. When I do find plagiarism at the end of the quarter - or when I suspect I've found it - I use the grade delay and start the process with the Academic Misconduct office.<BR>

<DIV>Hello:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have a few students who forgot and/or failed to upload their final paper to Safe Assign. I have a printed copy of their papers to grade. I have been unable to reach them through email. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>How do you handle this situation? Do you not accept the paper at all, or reduce their grade? Or . . . .?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks so much, and Happy Grading !<BR> <FONT face=system><EM>Karen L. Polster</EM></FONT></DIV>
